Why nail art?

It may seem strange to some that I decided to start a blog about nail art. Nail art has become pretty fashionable lately. Lots of celebrities have been spotted showing off their nail art and people everywhere are jumping on the trend.

However, the reason I took up nail art is not for fashion. Anyone who has been around me knows that I'm a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl. I hardly ever wear anything flashy...except for my nails. They are almost always painted up with some sort of design.

I used to bite my nails really bad. I mean, it was awful.

Yikes! Look at those nails!

I had tried everything I could think of to stop biting them, but I would do it without even realizing it.

One night I saw a  picture of a nail design one of my Facebook friends had tried. It was water marbling and I thought it looked awesome. So, I tried it myself. Pretty soon I was trying different designs two or three times a week. Long story short - that's when I stopped biting my nails.

My first nail design. Water marbling.
